Help identifying

[cglawe]

Could I get help with identifying this critter that came in on a coral. A comment on another thread suggested mini serpent star but I’m not sure. I’ve never seen the body but it has at least 7 or 8 tentacles that can easily reach up to 10 inches long & wrap around the rocks. I’ve not seen any pictures of a brittle or serpent star like this do just seeking opinions. Thanks!

I think the common name is micro star or probably that one is banded , there will be multiple variety of micro stars , I love them as they form part of your cuc but normally for free
I got mine collected from one of lfs tanks but they come on frags, live rock etc all the time
Diversity for me is key , from your stars dove snails, stommatellas , amphipods , copepods, they’re all excellent imo
Course you don’t always get good guys so have a close eye now and again see if there’s any baddies sneaked in
I caught an asterina today I sumped him cos they’re 50/50 and not risking corals for a 5mm white thing

Given this sentence here, my first thought would be a Spaghetti Worm (taxonomic family Terebellidae) - harmless/beneficial if so.

Just looked up some pictures/video and this is definitely what it is. Thank you!
